Peru needs help too!!!!!!





Disclaimer: These photos were not taken by Allison Esther Photography.

"Here are a few photos from the flooding that occurred in the High Andes. I took all of these photos today as I visited some of the area around our villages. The government is no where to be found or is anyone from the UN, USA, or any church. There are no TV or news media. It seems that the Haiti is sucking up all the worlds attention and charity money. No Obama mentions in his daily TV appearance. As I traveled over 200 miles today, the only thing I saw was the people digging through the damp rubble personal items. Each area I visited was like a ghost town. No looters- just very poor people who own so little trying to gather up a few things and the energy to keep going on." -Jerry Simons

A few years ago I went on a humanitarian trip to the High Andes of Peru with The Hope Projects Foundation to build school rooms, bathrooms, and greenhouses. The people were so grateful, generous, and such hard workers. These same people just experienced great destruction due to flooding in the Andes and need help...let the world know Haiti is not the only country who needs our help right now!
